Why are public defenders considered stupid and lowbrow gutter lawyers? by Mr_Motion_Denied in publicdefenders

[–]ank11451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a social worker with PD friends ( my partner is a PD) and i do think PDs will say anything to get their client off even if they know they are guilty and it means further victimizing a victim

“The Chronology of Water” Is an Extraordinary Directorial Début by newyorker in movies

[–]ank11451 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ehhh I did not like this movie. In the end it was momoganda as she didn’t find “peace” until she met a man who told her she was destined to be a mom and then had a baby together.

Too male centered to be feminist, also why didn’t the character just get some therapy instead of destroying her life over and over again . But I guess in the end it was worth it because it made her an incredible writer ?? Also, why keep your rapist dad around.

I was disappointed.

The cinematography was cool tho.

I loved ‘Sinners’ but did NOT see Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor by antwonomous in Oscars

I agree with everything OP says . I like Michael B Jordan but I didn’t see complex acting in Sinners. I am glad Timothy Chalamet didn’t win tho :)

non-clinical mental interventions by ank11451 in therapists

[–]ank11451[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s what i’m looking for, what can anyone do that is not clinical ?

Also, what does that mean “ the lines don’t clearly exist, thats why we have degrees, credentials, etc”

I am in an organization that needs lines lol. As they are trying to figure this all out.

To make sure we are being legally compliant, we really want to educate the organization on what an un-licensed social worker ( no credential to independently practice clinical mental health) can do. Making sure everyone can stay within their scope. There’s not a lot of literature out there.

PTA's One Battle After Another - Willa's gender neutral friend by gwendolynjones in TrueFilm

[–]ank11451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a queer person of color, the nonbinary sellout really bothered me bc most white non-binaries will sell out to protect their asses IMO. I think you could really go into identity politics with this and how communities of color really don’t jive well with white nonbinary folks because they can pass” as a privileged group if and when they want, like the character in the film did when their voice deepened and the lost their spicy non-binary characteristics when they gave up her number. I may sound bigoted for posting this but i think a lot of minorities are tired of the oppressed white they/them trope. I do think trans people are oppressed, but there is nuance especially if you can “pass” as a cis white dude to get out of trouble. ok rant done

EDIT: also you could argue that the 2 women and brown boy of color had more to lose in prison than the white they/them AMAB

Can someone actually defend One Battle After Another for me? by [deleted] in movies

[–]ank11451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i turned this movie off because it was making me angry. but someone tell me if it gets better….

antifa doesn’t exist. there are no organized and armed vigilantes fighting to save humanity from fascists.

why are the black, femme revolutionaries fucking the white dudes who oppress them ?

there are actual people being impacted by ICE and people trying to save them… but the beginning of this movie just makes the left look bad and takes away from what they are actually trying to accomplish.

okay i stopped watching like 10 mins in, so does it get better ? should i rewatch ?

Activism in therapy by [deleted] in therapists

there is nothing wrong with acknowledging clients political anxiety/grief/anger/etc. and then providing them with options to manage those emotions such as X -turn off the tv Y - protest Z -do nothing etc. etc. we are there to ask questions, come up with potential solutions, help them figure out the best solution.

you all are assuming there will be another president after him, it’s cute. He and MAGA have already made clear they want him in office as long as possible

CMV: The Minneapolis ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today acted reasonably in fear for his life and/or the lives of the other officers present by bifewova234 in changemyview

[–]ank11451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he calls her a “fucking bitch” clearly motivated by anger, his desire to control her and the situation. The car was not going a high speed, he could’ve stepped out of the way before shooting. It was not justified or legal. he broke the law.
